My resolution last year was to get off the hooch and give up alcohol. I survived and plan on keeping it going! lol. In April I made the decision to drop weight. I went from 284 to 220 in a few months and averaged 223 for the remaining 6 months of the year. I was happy with that. My goal this year is to get my average weight in the 200 pound range. I've got all year to do it, so no stress there.
The family has decided that we want to do some free weight training as well. That's my big resolution for 2020. I want to work out with the weights 3 days a week and do stretching and cardio on the off days. My son started pee-wee football last year and wants to lift and workout with pops, so I'll have a workout partner.
We picked up a Fringe Sports squat rack, adjustable bench, girl bar with bushings, and spotter arms. Plus some starter weights, male bar, padded "training bar", and dumbells from Dunham Sports. We have the hardware so we just have to set a schedule and get started. Monday is the start day for me and my son. My wife goes to a circuit training gym class a few times a week so she will have a different lifting schedule than me and my boy.
I found this simple full body workout that I'd like to try for a couple of months. I'll do moderate weight and keep my son on the very low end while we both work on technique and safety. How does something like this look for a starter program?

Any advice or things I should watch out for as a noob (me) and as a father/coach for a 9yo boy?
Here's what we have to work with.
